dc.description	Richard Holmes presents some insight into the events following the<br />controversial Allied invasion of Iraq during early 2003. The events surrounding the<br />insurgency after the premature declaration of victory in May 2003 by the former US<br />President George W Bush forms the backdrop to the publication. At the heart of the<br />publication reside the experiences of one particular British unit, the 1st Battalion,<br />The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment (1 PWRR), which deployed to Iraq during<br />April 2004.<br />In essence much of the narrative turns upon the personal experiences of C<br />Company of this battalion - a focus that brings a salient human face to the action as<br />described by the author and those involved. The publication, however, covers and<br />provides insight into much more than the tactical events and the violent uprise that<br />raged in the British Sector in the south of Iraq.
